ENDOMETRIOSIS
Disease information
ENDOMETRIOSIS
The
endometriosis
is
a
problem
that suffers around 15% of the women in fertile age, this can be since it begins to menstruar. It is characterized by the endometrial weave presence outside the
uterine
cavity.
Every month, when
a
woman
has
her
period
, the coating of the uterus, call endometrium, is disintegrated and eliminated with the
menstrual
flow.
When
a
woman
has
endometriosis
, the type of weave that forms the coating of the uterus of some form moves or appears in other parts of the body and as it is not disintegrated and it eliminates because it is outside the uterus gradually forms cysts and scars in weaves of other organs, developing therefore
a
endometriosis
.
This endometrial weave gets to grow outside the uterus, in areas in where it would not have to grow, generally in the surfaces of the organs located in pelvis and / or the abdomen and as it is not expelled or rejected from the body, as it happens in that to be developed within the uterus, can cause diverse
problems
like pain, bled local and
infertility
.
This
ectópico
weave that is that is located outside its
normal
site, is developed of form similar to which is located within the matrix or uterus, grows and descama during the
menstruation
, due to the influence of hormones causing diverse annoyances.
The weave is implanted and usually developed in organs like the ovaries, the tubes, the ligaments that maintain the uterus, the peritoneo, the appendix, the abdominal wall or on the internal or vejiga. In rare cases it can get to grow in the lungs or other parts of the body forming true networks of adhesions that cause pain and inflammation.
In fact, one does not know or what originates or causes the
endometriosis
,
but
the specialists think that she can be by:
the call "retrograde
menstrual
flow", in which part of the endometrial weave that is given off during the
menstruation
turns aside towards pelvis or other near organs.
Another cause could be the hereditary one or
genetic
, since many women whose mothers have suffered the same
problem
, are more prone to
develop
it.
Other hypotheses indicate that the
disease
is developed by
a
endocrino
problem
in which they are involved several glands, hormones and secretions of the body,
but
this is in study.
By mechanical factors like malformations in the feminine reproductive
system
.
One more
a
version, is than the immunological
system
plays
a
very important role when stimulating the
endometriosis
.
The
endometriosis
has
been diagnosed in 30% of women who present / display pelvic pain and
almost
in 40% of which they have reproductive
problems
by means of the accomplishment of clinical studies.
Since other sufferings also cause pelvic pains, like the
diseases
of
sexual
transmission, the inflammatory pelvic
disease
(EPI) and the fibroides that are noncancerous
tumors
, it is very important the medical study to identify the
problem
well and to give the suitable solution him.
